Thank you Ashton! This is such a pertinent article and you have woven together key elements comprehensively.
We are at a precious tipping point of interface with the spiritual world and must grasp the pivotal need for inner soul development that bridges outer and inner phenomena. How incredible if more researchers would understand this inner development piece and would take up RS methodology.
A personal interest of mine has been collecting names of doctors and scientists such as Tesla, Reich etc who I sensed were being inspired by the Vulcans- many in the medical field who were using sound and frequency for healing. (Most of them also persecuted by TPTB).
I would think that the conditions set upon βTylerβsβ lifestyle are a good indication of something positive at work. This is not always the case with the proverbial mad scientists of our time.
Iβm cheering you on in moving this publication forward - you seem to be made for it.
Hi Ashton. Thank you for inviting some sharing about these mysteries. I probably have too much to say around this, most of which you likely have considered.
My imaginations of the new technology have developed from contemplating the inner human aspect- the inner development needed to fulfill our mission to redeem nature through technology. It sounds like such an oxymoron. But it was Steinerβs call.
As a eurythmist, when I imagine the future technology I live into how we can interpenetrate the moral and the mechanical to transmit our etheric oscillations to outer processes.
βI can will The Good thru my I in the warmth ether of my body.β
We already imprint our inner life into our actions and thoughts consciously or unconsciously. It is not just for the scientists to forge new technology. Each of us must come to consciousness of our impact on the world and realize we have a mission to spiritualize the material. As the 10th hierarchy we are called to follow in the footsteps of the higher hierarchies who donated their substance to create us and the microcosm. We can/ must do the same for the beings who have sacrificed themselves into physical existence.
Have you read Paul Embersonβs book βMachines and the Human Spiritβ? He emphasizes the distinction between the resonant technology you described and moral technology that RS spoke about. Future machines can operate on subtle oscillations in harmony with cosmic rhythms, but these developments in resonant technology must be wedded to our inner spiritual life and moral development as you know of course!
(Embersonβs book has a fascinating chapter on the Stader device. It went missing- how crazy is that?)
The subtle pulsations from our will and morality are becoming more and more incorporated in all our activities in earthly life. Our very gaze into nature either enslaves or liberated the beings who are ensconced in matter. We are constantly in process of forging the future Jupiter. The beings generated by our activities on earth will either become trusty allies or specters as we read in the Faust. The homunculus was created by a scientist in the laboratory, but it was Mephistopheles who imbued it with life. It was thereby tainted with a devious Ahrimanic nature.
The renegade mad scientists and the tech bros have followed that path. They declined to honor a spiritual conception of the world based on moral law.. They made their pact with the dark occult to suck living life into a desolate mechanized world resonating in electro technology. They are forcing and will continue to force resonate technologies over this planet based on sub earthly forces.
The curious Vulcan beings are offering their help! Receiving their intuitions necessitates being able to access very high levels of intuition and a refined will permeated by The Good.
Working with the Vulcans will require a certain level of astral and etheric development into manas and Buddhi- spirit self and life spirit. These sheaths will grant
us access to the secrets of the living Tau power, which cannot come to realization out of egotism. RS pleads that our machines be invented in an attitude of sacramentalism- in complete selflessness - as if upon an altar with βactions aglow with moral perfection- with sacred fireβ.
With moral technology future machines will be imbued with etheric life- life we imbue them with. Iβm sure you know that RS commented that a whole factory could run by being attuned to the moral qualities of the person running it. This principle of sympathetic vibration was underlying Keelyβs curious machine. The same principle holds true in various myths and fairytales as well. A key or magic word or a sword or a forge does not work for just anyone. Any trace of egotism and the power is lost. Only the pure soul can make it work.
Spirit self development allows access to the high levels of intuition needed to receive intuitions from the Vulcans. Buddhi life spirit would grant the ability to transmit and interact with the sound and life ethers. Machines will operate by aligning cosmic influences with rhythmic oscillations of the sound and life ether. The moral will of human being is the secret and incorruptible key that would engender this cooperation to interact directly with elemental beings and inner earth forces to set in motion and generate living etheric systems. Further and more- Mechanical occultism will harmonize and purify the chthonic untempered forces from the inner earth. Beings that have been maligned and coerced (all the little rumvplestilskins) will be redeemed thru participating in harmonious, rhythmic, musical unity with the starry cosmos. It sounds like fairyland, and I imagine it something like that - looms and wheels turning and gyring in harmonious flowing rhythmic generative forces - the sounding of the long silenced sacred Tau. Novalis confirms this view. He encourages us to approach the future out of magical idealism. (Spirit Self development). He himself was an engineer and a miner. His curious name Novalis means something along the lines of βcreating new ground for plowingβ As he was Cain, Hiram, and Lazarus his insights into the primal mysteries of the inner earth and technology are mandatory considerations. He proclaims that magical idealism is the key to our future. βThe world must be poetizedβ he affirms.
There are new elementals connected with Christβs second coming who are working with the Vulcans. They will assists us in alchemically permeating and transforming the physical mineral world into a more refined state. The metals and gems have a natural resonance with the instreaming cosmic energies. This is rather grossly applied with silica in the computer industry but has vast potential for our future machines. I imagine these etheric machines organisms inhabited by gracious elementary beings- not fabricated humunculi.
Okay almost done. Along with awakening our spiritual faculties in service to moral technology, and realizing laboratories are altars, we have to speak of the new Royal Art as RS names it- the social arts. The Vulcans require this- Working together out of brotherly love with Christ between us. The Grail mystery and the vital question- βWhat ails thee? Is intrinsic to the sacred Tau, which the Vulcans serve.
My interest in these mysteries parallels my decades long studies with Dennis Klocek and my practice of biodynamic agriculture and alchemy. DK has a large portion of Vulcan working in him. He is a master Rosicrucian who has penetrated deeply into the mysteries earth and cosmos in relationship to physical substance- in particular the alchemical transformation/ redemption of substance and the beings that sacrificed themselves to become matter. In my last course with DK- The New Adam course- we arduously prepared finely ground gems to combine into an anointing balm with 12 essential oils that have analogous formative processes in the plant kingdom. Gems and oils in resonance. The application of the balm on the forehead, throat, and heart is accompanied by healing words spoken soul to soul βsacramentallyβ during a healing ritual. The gems and oils, the warmth of Will, the healing word, interact with the recipients warmth body and penetrate into the blood which then resonates in these 12 signature processes originating from the starry heavens.
While not being machine technology, this alchemical ritual of enhancing substance for healing employs the understanding of delicate etheric processes and our upon ability to transmit our warmth of will to one another.
How would you characterize the specific intent and quality of the Vulcans based on your collection? The bit of research Iβve done on Steinerβs statements about the possibility of etheric technologies and the possibilities of working with stellar influences at certain times for machines that would operate according to subtle oscillations come to mind. Maybe also homunculus type tinkering.
Thank you for this article. As a reader it is exciting to see the correlations you bring about as well as to feel the energy behind it. In answering your editorial request I think it could be good to curb a bit a few jumps and gaps in the text. For example, in suggesting (speculating) links between plasma and a number of other things with Vulcan states of consciousness. I am aware you are positioning these as hypothesis and not statements. This is a sound scientific procedure but doesnβt quite work the same way in spiritual inquiry which operates in much more subtle ways, as I imagine you know. One specific case of correlation that misses a gap, not in logic, but in ontology, is how in the article rhetoric, especially towards the end, there is a call to connect us, from our present day awareness, to Vulcan as both medium and eschatological station of the βworldβs highest, potentialβ.
It sounds great and exciting. However, on a more sobering note, it may be useful to remember that before the Vulcan stage there are other stages (Jupiter, Venus). In other words, the current comprehension of Vulcan now requires a tempo of maturation in its forges, with their own cosmic protocols of revelation.
So my suggestion is to inwardly be aware of pace and tempo. And perhaps streamline a bit more the content of the article to a more clear βthesisβ, even if the overall result is perhaps less exciting.
Thanks so much for these thoughtful remarks, Elsa, this is very helpful. I have the general tendency to leap toward the grandiose if I can think it clearly enough, but as you sayβrealisticallyβthere is much in between the state Steiner believed we are at now and his characterization of the almost unthinkable Vulcan future. I will keep your comments about gaps, tempo, pace, and thesis in mind as I revise. It would be my preference for the published piece to be more sober and less enflamed with enthusiasmβgod-filled! Though energizing for some, that kind of tone may understandably turn some scrupulous readers off.
